Customer Reviews

A serious book about enduring friendship.

Clara has had trouble finding a true friend and when she finally does her friendship is severely tested when her friend Nettie undergoes a stroke. Any child who has suffered through a friend's devastating illness will recognize Clara's frustration, her valiant attempt to keep on hoping against the odds, and her final acceptance of the need to go on from where she finds herself after Nettie's recovery rather than holding on to how things were in the past. A heartfelt story, beautifully crafted.
